Highlights
As we move into the second week of the Paralympic Games, it’s been absolutely incredible to see our continued Aussie success.
We’ve just enjoyed our biggest medal haul in a day at the Paras in Paris, winning 10 medals across para swimming, para rowing, para cycling, and para athletics, fantastic work from all the athletes, coaches, and HPDs involved to make this happen. A special shout out to Thrive with Pride ambassador Nikki Ayers who took home the gold medal with Jed Altschwager in the PR3 Mixed Double Sculls – well done Nikki and Jed!
I’m looking forward to catching more Aussies in action at the Para Games before everything wraps up for another four years on Sunday. We’re already lined up for some super medal events in para triathlon, the wheelchair rugby bronze medal match, boccia, and para powerlifting.

I’m incredibly pleased to announce our Future Green and Gold – Australia’s Greatest ever Olympic and Paralympic Talent Search has gone live, with our system partners receiving a toolkit to promote the talent search through their sporting communities. In the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the ASC and AIS are working with the sporting sector to uncover future Green and Gold talent aged 13 and above who aren’t already in an HP pathway, as well as identify existing athletes who may be able to transfer their skills to different sports to embrace new challenges and opportunities.
